Place the cereal in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until finely ground. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mash carrots with a fork. Stir in buttermilk, lemon juice, lemon peel, vegetable oil, eggs and sugar until well blended with the carrots.

Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Mix until dry ingredients are moistened. Add the cereal and cranberries and stir until blended.
